Lights Out: Dirty Girl Part 2, best song ever.

Is there a meaning behind The Rookie's birthday being 07/07/2547?

Or is it just an easteregg Bungie through in?

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

We know this already.

Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals.

They love their 7's, so it's probably an easter egg. Who knows, could be relevant to the story, have to wait and see.

Go Rams and Missouri!

You know, he wasn't actually enlisted on that date, Bungie just put that in, and it's obvious that they decided to put it on Bungie Day.... Use your common sense.

Well... He might be a 5 year ODST

Or...it is his actual enlistment date and Bungie thought it'd be cool and special to have it on Bungie Day.

Same goes for his initials being JD (Service number: 11282-31220-JD)...obviously referring to the whole John Doe thing they've got going on; implying that you are the Rookie.

I meant that Bungie decides every single fictional date. The Rookie did not actually enlist in the real world military on that day.

I wasn't aware you knew so much about history from the future.
